Former Union Minister and BJP MP from Hamirpur Lok Sabha constituency Anurag Singh Thakur has made a scathing attack on the Congress government of Himachal Pradesh regarding the law and order situation in Himachal Pradesh. Expressing concern, he said that due to the failed policies of the government, today the morale of criminals is high and the land of Gods which was considered peaceful is now turning into a land of crime.
Huge jump in crime figures: Citing official figures, the MP said that the graph of crimes in the state is increasing rapidly. A total of 17,385 cases were registered across the state in the year 2025, while in 2024 the number was 16,393, which shows an increase of more than 6% in the total crimes. The most frightening situation is regarding women’s safety and drug addiction. There has been a record increase of 28% in drug trafficking cases, where 1,967 cases were registered in 2025 compared to 1,537 cases in 2024.
‘Law and order completely collapsed’
MP Anurag Thakur said that there has been an increase of 19.02% in rape cases (from 305 to 363 cases) and 17.7% increase in kidnapping incidents has also been recorded. He said in strong words, “Criminals are committing crimes without any fear and are playing the flute of peace under the influence of responsible power. The spate of criminal incidents in Himachal is an open challenge to the Iqbal government.”
Demand for high level investigation into Pallavi murder case
Expressing grief over the tragic demise of Dharamshala’s daughter Pallavi, the MP described it as a very painful incident. He expressed condolences to the bereaved family and demanded the government to conduct a high-level and impartial investigation into the matter and take strict action against the culprits.
In conclusion, he said that the Congress government has proved to be a failure on every front. Today, the feeling of insecurity prevailing among the common citizens is worrying, which makes it clear that the government has completely failed to control the mafia.
